eh, I thi'nk the 87-88 body style cougar sucks. The tbird is alot better these years. I think the 83-86's look good though.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Hey 5.8fastcat. I hope you'll be bringing that car to CatJam this year. Car looks great. Was at CatJam two years ago, but can't remember your car there. My 86' was not driveable that year, so I went in my 04' mach1. Last year I went in my 88' XR7. Planning on bringing both if at all possible this year.

What kind of 1/4 mile time do you get without the 150 shot?

To each is own.  But those lines of an 87 88 cougar just do it for me.

Figured I'd pop into another thread.. It's like a family reunion or something. I think I have a tear in my eye. :)

So.. I forget where you're at with the rear-end. Did you do that 11 second run on stock axles? :)

Not a big fan of the look of the Cats like the thunderbird more.

Best cougars in my own opion are Drop tops or Black Coupes.

Its clean and its Fast and i would drive the hell out of it.

Goodjob man keep working on it.



The tbirds are bland in my opinion. The cougars look good.

... but what seals it for me is the rear windows and roof lines.


see, thats what i don't like about the cougars, almost looks like somethings missing. don't get me wrong, i still like them but 4 eyed birds rule :headbang: :giggle:
